(For my brother)
2 year divorce battle.
Home was paid with cash. Judgement states ex wife is owed 165,000, lien was placed on house i built and i'm forced to take a loan out to pay her or they will sell my house.
The amount i had in the bank at the time of filing is wrong. It says i had 116k. I had 74k.
My attorney did not bring forth evidence for custody and many other things, i felt misrepresented so i fired her at the hearing. The judge did not allow me to get a new attorney and said i had to represent myself due to no time. Did not allow a continuation. A judgement was not made for 7 more months. In this time my daughter testified to live with me. If i had an attorney or knew what I was doing I would have known my other daughter needed to as well. I thought by the judge asking the oldest what her and her sister wanted, she spoke for both. The one that did not testify, the papers say had no preference, however she does. They both refuse to see their mom. They are 17 and 14.
We were married 6 years. Together off and on 18.
Do I have a chance at an appeal? Or what options do i have? What do i need to know before going to a consultant with an attorney?
